The "challenges" are different because nobody cares if I finish it or not, and most importantly for me I don't have to rank anything. (I'm philosophically opposed to ranking art. I mean, I'll sometimes do it if pressed but I'd just rather not. I managed to slap together a list for the '00s countdown, but that was mostly possible because I don't feel very strongly about that decade.)
The Halls of Fame are another matter. I like the concept and would like to try one among friends maybe, but like Crumb said, the idea of a stranger sitting through something I happen to like makes me uncomfortable, even if I've taken pains to recommend something harmless. The range of opinions here is too wide, so I'd prefer to just post about films that I think are noteworthy. Then, if my opinion matters to a specific person, they can take that into consideration and voluntarily watch something I've recommended. Final Exam, for example.
And just to clarify, I'd watch anything I was asked to watch. It's having to nominate something for others that is the sticking point.
